FHE...

 Sometimes this is what we do for Family Home Evening...

 We go out into nature to look at the beauties around us...

 We take in the beautiful scenery as the seasons change...

 We take deep breaths of the clean, crisp, mountain fresh air...

 And eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches...

 With smiles on our faces...

 We talk about the things we saw that Heavenly Father created...

 The trees, plants, mountains, deer, chipmunks and birds were on the list...

 When it's time to go home we bundle up...

 And pose again for another picture...

 

We love making memories with the ones we love most..

What a Weekend...

 This last weekend was an amazing one, one to never forget.  It started on Friday night by heading up to Logan for Time Out for Women.  This year along with my mom, Cecelia, and Maddie my aunt Nancy and Tammy joined us. (we missed you Carlin.) On Friday the speakers were Heidi Swinton and Laurel C. Day.  The music performers were Justin Cash & Calee Reed.  I could listen to Calee all day.  My aunt Nancy is going to try to get her for our Womens Conference this year.  I hope she will be able to come, because that would be amazing!  Saturday the speakers were Noelle Pikus-Pace, Whitney Johnson, John Hilton III, Wendy Ulrich, and Kris Belcher and the music performers were Mercy River. 
What an incredible experience to watch Noelle's final run in the skeleton where she took silver medal in the Sochi 2014 Olympics.  It was very powerful and spiritual.  Aside from Noelle, I could listen to Kris Belcher speak all day.  She is so funny and entertaining to listen to.  She keeps my attention with her positive out look in life.  I'm already looking forward to next year, this is an excellent tradition!

 Once coming home we got ready for the Shine the Light Celebration for the Ogden Temple.  The performers were youth from around the Ogden Temple District area.  We have put long hours in practicing for the event.  With all the stress and worry it turned out excellent.  Our stake did a Mexican dance and sang and signed songs.  It was amazing!  This is a picture of a few of our YW.

 The closing song it what really got to me.  It was a very touching moment.  I'm so proud of our youth for their participation.  And I may be happy that it's done so we can get back to our regular activities.

 Sunday was the dedication of the Ogden Temple.  What a beautiful place.  So glad Nic and I were able to go.  This is so important to us.  We love the temple and are excited to do a session again in the Ogden Temple!

Middle of the Month Already...

 I can't believe it's the middle of September.  Where has the month gone? Again I will catch you up in pictures.  Everyone loves pictures right?

Soccer is in full swing.

 A visit to the dentist to fix some sugar bugs.

 My kids want a baby almost as much as me.

 Look out sculptors.  She will make any animal you ask her to.

 Payton was such a good helper in the morning.  I want a baby, but having 4 kids under the age of 3 is a bit much.

 So after a long day of babysitting we spent the weekend in Park City.  It was beautiful!

 This is the sign of a good time.

 My latest craft.  I haven't done anything since the beginning of April.  It felt good to get my craft on!

First Day of Preschool...

 Today Connor had his first day of preschool.  He has been waiting for this day for months, with Payton in school he has been that more anxious.  He loved it and would have been fine with me just dropping him off at the curb.  But of course I had to follow him in and sneak a few pictures.  I can't believe this is my baby!!

 He get's to go to school with his "cousin" Carson.  Sorry for the blurry picture, with everyone that I took one of them was blurry.

End of Summer...

 To me it feels like Labor Day is the official end of summer.  On Labor Day the splash pad closed. So a few days prior we spent an hour or so playing in it.  Payton even stood under the bucket as it dumped water on her, that's a first.  Next year I'm sure my kids will enjoy it even more.
